Chili Crunch is a spicy-crunchy chili oil that adds a flash of heat and texture to your favorite dishes. We spent a decade tweaking the formula in our restaurants to lock in the perfect amount of spice, crunch, and umami flavor. With three types of chilis, crunchy garlic and shallots, each bite is expertly balanced. Our Chili Crunch is a spicy-crunchy chili oil. It features an umami base, plus a lot of the flavors and textures we love: crispy shallots, sesame seeds, dried garlic, and coconut sugar for a hint of sweetness. Chili Crunch is the perfect balance of spicy and crunchy.
